Bug description:
  Description

  Uncontrolled array index in Speex 1.1.12 and earlier, as used in
  libfishsound 0.9.0 and earlier, including Illiminable DirectShow
  Filters and Annodex Plugins for Firefox, allows remote attackers to
  execute arbitrary code via a header structure containing a negative
  offset, which is used to dereference a function pointer.

  See:
  http://www.ocert.org/advisories/ocert-2008-2.html
  http://www.ocert.org/advisories/ocert-2008-004.html

  From the oCERT advisory #2008-002:

  "The libfishsound  decoder library incorrectly implements the
  reference speex decoder from the Speex library, performing
  insufficient boundary checks on a header structure read from user
  input.

  A user controlled field in the header structure is used to build a
  function pointer. The libfishsound implementation does not check for
  negative values for the field, allowing the function pointer to be
  pointed at an arbitary position in memory. This allows remote code
  execution.

  A patch has been committed to the libfishsound public repository.

  Affected version: <= 0.9.0

  Fixed version: 0.9.1

  Additional affected packages:

  Speex <= 1.1.12, the reference implementation from which libfishsound
  is derived.

  Illiminable DirectShow Filters, which statically include the
  libfishsound library.

  Annodex Plugins for Firefox.

  CVE: CVE-2008-1686"

  
  From the oCERT advisory #2008-004:

  "The reference speex decoder from the Speex library performs insufficient
  boundary checks on a header structure read from user input, this has been
  reported in oCERT-2008-002 advisory.

  Further investigation showed that several packages include similar code and
  are therefore vulnerable.

  In order to prevent the usage of incorrect header processing reference code,
  the speex_packet_to_header() function has been modified to bound the returned
  mode values in Speex >= 1.2beta3.2. This change automatically fixes
  applications that use the Speex library dynamically.

  Affected version:

  gstreamer-plugins-good <= 0.10.8
  SDL_sound <= 1.0.1
  Speex <= 1.1.12 (speexdec)
  Sweep <= 0.9.2
  vorbis-tools <= 1.2.0
  VLC Media Player <= 0.8.6f
  xine-lib <= 1.1.11.1
  XMMS speex plugin

  Fixed version:

  gstreamer-plugins-good, >= 0.10.8 (patched in CVS)
  SDL_sound, patched in CVS
  Speex >= 1.2beta3.2 (patched in CVS)
  Sweep >= 0.9.3
  vorbis-tools, patched in CVS
  VLC Media Player, N/A
  xine-lib >= 1.1.12
  XMMS speex plugin, N/A

  from the Red Hat Security Response Team for his help in investigating the
  issue.
